Well my kind´s been around forever
And I claim to be one of the few
And the lost cause of words walks away with my nerves
´Cause I´m gay as a choir boy for you

You got hair that recalls me of rivers
Runs softly while you dream of you
But your heart is so cold that it shivers
´Cause all that I know is I´m nothing to you

And I followed you into the party
That no one invited me to
But alone I made love to my 40
And played make-believe it was you

But I watched you forget your belongings
And belongings you´ve got quite a few
I filled up your bag with my longings
And searched through this whole, wide city for you

And we´ll walk ´neath the street lamps forever
You´ll say you remind me of you
It´s so damn cliche that it´s clever
It´s so fucking false, you think that it´s true

´Cause I heard that you forgot your lovers
And lovers you´ve got one or two
But you can´t tell one from the other
Now, mama, now you´re nothing to you

4x
And it´s down by the riverside (wasting away)
And it´s down by the riverside (feet in the clay)

And It´s down by the riverside, wasting away,
And i´ll watch your frail features adieu
Yeah, down by the riverside, feet in the clay,
Cause mama, now you´re nothing to you.

Yeah, down by the riverside, wasting away,
And i´ll watch your frail features adieu

Yeah down by the riverside, feet in the clay,
Cause mama, now you´re nothing to you.

Yeah mama, now you´re nothing to you.
Yeah mama, now you´re nothing to you.
